Rhizofiltration is the hydroponics-based process by which pollutants are taken up by plant roots. Using aquatic or terrestrial plants, this remediation technique cleans up contaminated aquatic habitats. Using a water-based nutrition solution as opposed to soil to grow plants is known as hydroponics. Both inorganic and organic contaminants, such as heavy metals, ions, pesticides, and other pollutants, can be effectively removed from surface and groundwater through rhizofiltration. Heavy metals like lead, cadmium, cobalt, copper, uranium, and arsenic, whose concentrations are too low to be removed by standard methods, can be removed successfully by this technology (Srivastava et al., 2021). In conducting the process of rhizofiltration, a study by Abdullahi (2015) states that rhizofiltration occurs when contaminated water from a particular site is administered to adjust the plants to the environment. The plants are then planted on the site of contaminated groundwater where the roots take up the water and pollutants. The plants are harvested, including the roots, once the roots have become saturated with the pollutant. In this study, the researchers used P. hederaceum for rhizofiltration, a form of phytoremediation that utilizes plants for wastewater treatment (Srivastava et al., 2021). The plant was chosen for the process, due to its quick growth, and its belonging to the Araceae family, characterized by its hyperaccumulator tendencies (GardenPals, 2022). Additionally, the P. hederaceum was grown through hydroponics, a method for growing plants without soil.
